Upper Body Lift for Men
Conveniently located to serve New York City & Beyond

After massive weight loss, people experience significant excess skin throughout their lower and upper body. This extra skin can cause folds and wrinkles in the back, abdomen, and buttocks.

Schedule Consultation
*Model

The upper body lift procedure helps to remove excess skin from the upper abdomen area, sides of the chest, and your upper back. This surgical procedure helps improve your upper torso, both the front and back, unlike the tummy tuck procedure which removes skin and fat from the abdomen and flattens only your lower abdomen. The upper body lift procedure helps eliminate excessive skin under the armpits and back rolls.

Dr. Wallach brings his vast experience with cosmetic surgery to give his patients optimal results from the procedure. Many bariatric patients are referred to Dr. Wallach for the elimination of the excessive, sagging skin after massive weight loss.

Preparation

You will be advised not to take any blood thinners before your surgery like aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.

Procedure

Fat and skin are removed from the upper abdominal area and any scars are well concealed within the creases of the chest so they can be hidden. Some tissue may be removed as well around your upper body as well.

The surgical procedure is done in two positions – the abdomen and the back. Liposuction may be used on your back area and the flanks. Once the extra fat and skin are removed, the underlying tissue is lifted. Your upper body lift results in the waistline being cinched so that you can restore your youthful contours.

Testimonials

I had my first consultation with Dr. Wallach in February 2012 to discuss body-contouring procedures after massive weight loss. I had seen two plastic surgeons prior to Dr. Wallach. From the very moment that I received a phone call from the patient coordinator I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Wallach listened and answered all of my questions and was very patient. In May 2012 I had a circumferential abdominoplasty with a fleur d’lis. Dr. Wallach was there every step of the way. I had never met a doctor more dedicated to his patients. While other plastic surgeons were willing to do an entire body lift at once Dr. Wallach would not compromise his patients’ health. He is honest, caring, and above all a very competent surgeon. I would strongly recommend his care to anyone considering a procedure. He is truly an exceptional surgeon, whose expertise far outweighs other surgeons in his field. The quality of Dr. Wallach’s patient care and bedside manner is far superior to that of other plastic surgeons with whom I have consulted, and the passion he exhibits for his profession is second to none. Dr Wallach’s first priority is always patient health and safety, and is unwilling to compromise either for fiscal gain. This is not something I can say about the other plastic surgeons I consulted with, who were willing to perform any elaborate, complicated, and much more risk-laden surgery because “the price was right.” I would not go to any other surgeon and I am looking forward to my next procedure with Dr. Wallach.

I was referred to and met Dr. Wallach in late January 2014 regarding having a BBL procedure done, Dr. Wallach easy going personality and professionalism put my mind at ease. I have unique medical issues and after speakina with him I knew he was the perfect physician for my procedure. My surgery was scheduled for mid-February and it went without a hitch. Mind you the day of the surgery there was a big snowstorm; but everyone on the team including myself made it in safely. Dr. Wallach was very informative on the day of surgery: explaining evey step to me and my husband. He was caring and made sure everything was being done to ensure our privacy and that I was comfortable. I must say I was very satisfied with the results and still am. I would definitely go back to Dr Wallach for any future work and would highly recommend him! His office assistant Nicole is a sweet heart and thank them both for the loving care. I have received endless compliments and owe Dr. Wallach a multitude of gratitude!!!!!

Recovery

Most patients can go home after their surgery while some may have to be observed overnight in the hospital. You will be prescribed antibiotics and pain medicines for the recovery period. You might experience some numbness in the area, but it improves with time.  Drains are commonly placed during surgery, and they will be removed within 1-2 weeks at most cases.

Complications

The best candidates for this procedure are patients who are close to their goal weight, healthy, and at a stable weight. If you are severely overweight this can add complications to the procedure. Some of the complications of the surgery include bleeding post-surgery, collection of fluid resulting in infection, skin necrosis, thick scars, asymmetry, and blood clots. You might need additional procedures for correction of these complications.

Dr. Wallach ensures he takes appropriate measures in order to prevent these complications. These include the use of drains to prevent infection, antibiotics, sequential devices to prevent blood clots in the legs and prevention of necrosis with careful handling of the tissue.
